I usually listen to an album in full or to the individual tracks on YouTube, then I'll steal it if I won't be going shopping for a while, then I buy it when I can to support the artist/label. I usually just buy CDs. I think it's a waste of money to buy a digital copy.

I do miss physically shopping for music. It was always nice going into the record store and just browsing through the titles. And there's also something a little more special about holding the cd in your hands, and then flipping through its booklet.

The switch to purchasing my music digitally was driven by a few factors. Due to my student lifestyle, I move fairly frequently and I got sick of having to move my cd collection with me everywhere I went - it's just a lot easier to have it all loaded on your itunes. Also, the selection in my local record shops has gone downhill considerably, especially when it comes to independent titles - i found myself having to special-order just about everything I wanted, which got to be quite annoying. Not to mention, in terms of cost, an itunes record is around $9.99, while a cd would range anywhere from 9.99-18.99.

I've heard there's a cool indie-record shop downtown that I haven't visited yet, i'm going to have to make a special to check it out.

Let all be forgiven.

I have the same problem. Most of the music I buy is through the internet. The record store here does not have much of the music I want, so I will have to buy the physical product from the world, mostly from the US, the UK, Japan or Germany.
